Interesting that this report, via Salon, was leaked to the NY Post. Is Newscorp going rogue?
A damning report from active-duty and retired FBI agents, released on Sunday, said that Director Kash Patel is “in over his head.”
The report from the 24 agents, entitled “A Pulse Check of the First Six Months,” was obtained by the New York Post. It finds that morale is low at the department, described as a “rudderless ship” under Patel. The report found Patel “has neither the breadth of experience nor the bearing an FBI director needs to be successful.”
One source in the report called Patel “very personable and likable,” but blamed him for creating “a culture of mistrust and uncertainty among the ranks.” Another said that leaders at the FBI are “keeping their heads down and are afraid to say anything.”
“They do not want to be terminated from employment,” the source said.
The courage they are showing is so impressive. I feel so safe.
Patel is a clown:
One anecdote from the report claims that when Patel traveled to Utah following the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, he “refused” to leave his plane without wearing an FBI raid jacket.
FBI agents who “were busy working in the aftermath of the assassination…had to [stop and] ask around to find an FBI raid jacket – a medium-sized one – that would fit FBI Director Kash Patel,” according to the report. When “two velcro patches” were found to be missing from the jacket, two agents removed their own patches and “ran” them over to Patel’s aircraft.
The weirdness of this crew’s obsession with cos-playing never fails to amaze. Normally, the only time you ever see an FBI Director is when he testifies before Congress. That’s it. He doesn’t show up at crimes scenes, very rarely gives a briefing and is simply not a front-facing official. Patel, Hegseth and Noem especially are the most inept buffoons we’ve ever seen in such important powerful jobs and they are everywhere. Of course, you only have to look at their boss to know that the buck stops there.
